Entertainment Link-Off: Riff-Off!

Two big flicks facing off at the cinemas this weekend. There’s the critically acclaimed actioner Mad Max: Fury Road. Then there’s also the highly anticipated sequel Pitch Perfect 2. I say just spend the day at the theatre and watch both! They’re great flicks! That being said, the Barden Bellas are pitch slapping their competition at the box office right now. Anyway, if you don’t feel like hitting up the cinemas, there’s always a new episode of Game of Thrones. Emilia Clarke can belt out a tune or two, but too bad the show doesn’t give her the opportunity to do so!

After the jump, a quick look at TV upfronts, some sequel news, Jeremy Lin reacts to NBA 2K15, and Anna Kendrick challenges James Cordon to a riff off.
